Special issue of Working Papers on the Web on CDA

[Sara Mills]

CALL FOR PAPERS: Peter Jones and myself, both of Sheffield Hallam 
University, (Communications Studies and Linguistics) are putting together 
a special issue of Working Papers on the Web ( a refereed electronic 
journal) entitled Engaging with Critical Discourse Analysis.  We would be 
interested in receiving abstracts for articles which engage with CDA.  By 
this we mean, there have been a number of articles over the years which 
have critiqued CDA on a range of different issues: the nature and function 
of its political stance, the interpretative processes at work in its 
analyses, its use of linguistics/discourse analysis, and so on.  Some of 
these critiques have been essentially negative and what we aim to do in 
this special issue of Working Papers on the Web is to engage 
constructively with CDA to interrogate some of the claims made by CDA 
practititioners and evaluate some of the criticisms made of CDA as a 
practice.

Send abstracts or general enquiries to Sara Mills s.l.mills at shu.ac.uk.  To
